windows 8 pro not working for quake

every time when i load up a game for quake i join then it just freezes then i check ping its 999 then i check it again its 79 and its still freezing and everything is slow so if i put tab on it will come up in 30 seconds plz help

I have similar issues.
"Awaiting Gamestate" takes ages. Sometimes I hear already "Prepare to fight" when I still have the "Awaiting Gamestate" screen in front of me.
Than suddenly the game quits with a strange failure message "Cl_timeframexxxxx -> old.servertimeframe.xxxx" something likes this. It is not the eactly message but something with the sync of time between client and server.

Also the voting behaves strange.
1. Game Ends - Voting is acvtive but I can not vote
2. Voting Ends - Voting restarts again and I can vote

Next issue is chat after game ends and goes hand in hand with the voting issue
1. Game ends -> my chat message will not be transfered (Voting 1st round)
2. Voting 2nd round -> my chat message will be transfered and sometimes also old messages (Voting 1st round) will be displaye now.

Another one is my netgraph:
I have continously high red spikes in my netgraph which I did not had before. Also a lot of enemies are warping or simply poping up infront of me. Very often I have the feeling that e.g. my rocket is slower than I.

And the last one I recognize:
Very often I'm not able to connect to a server

I can't even install QL using IE10. I don't want FireFox if I can help it.

It installs the plugin, but instead of downloading the necessary files I get a fatal error and "An instance of Quake Live is already running. Please close this web page". But there is no second instance running.

Hi,

I have exactly the same problem. I've filed a support request - Quake admins, could you acknowledge you're working on this?

I have exactly the same "Fatal Error" message. Since windows 8 Pro installation. Portal 2 didn't work for the first two days and then it recovered after I uninstalled it and then reinstalled. Maybe that is what I should do with QL.
